You get it? This is my first time hearing about this Seth Rich story. What's your problem?

Seth Rich was killed shortly after a Podesta email talked about making an example out of a person at the DNC that wasn't loyal.
The DNC leaks stopped after Rich died.

Many suspected that he was the person that leaked the DNC emails to Wikileaks.

A big story.

Now you are caught up.

Because it doesn't fit the narrative they've been forcing. My guess is WaPo won't have it either....

Or it could be that like a lot of pro-Trump narratives pushed by Fox (and let's not forget, Wheeler is a longtime, regular Fox contributor who has said off-the-wall BS that he later retracted) — there's nothing to it — and it's just a conveniently dropped distraction when the clown-in-chief is embroiled in his latest debacle.

If Wheeler produces something to substantiate his claim, you can bet they'll pick up on it but as for now, I'm guessing they've just got a better nose for BS than the average Trump supporter.

So you guys are all judging without evidence? Gotcha.

Why would they?

The Democratic National Committee staffer who was gunned down on July 10 on a Washington, D.C., street just steps from his home had leaked thousands of internal emails to WikiLeaks, investigative sources told Fox News.

A federal investigator who reviewed an FBI forensic report -- generated within 96 hours after DNC staffer Seth Rich's murder -- detailing the contents Rich’s computer said he made contact with WikiLeaks through Gavin MacFadyen, a now-deceased American investigative reporter, documentary filmmaker, and director of WikiLeaks who was living in London at the time.

“My investigation up to this point shows there was some degree of email exchange between Seth Rich and WikiLeaks.”

- Rod Wheeler, former DC homicide investigator
“I have seen and read the emails between Seth Rich and WikiLeaks,” the federal investigator told Fox News, confirming the MacFadyen connection. He said the emails are in possession of the FBI, while the stalled case is in the hands of the Washington Police Department.

The revelation is consistent with the findings of Rod Wheeler, a former DC homicide detective and Fox News contributor and whose private investigation firm was hired by a third party on behalf of Rich’s family to probe the case. Rich was shot from behind in the wee hours, but was not robbed.

“My investigation up to this point shows there was some degree of email exchange between Seth Rich and WikiLeaks,” Wheeler said. “I do believe that the answers to who murdered Seth Rich sits on his computer on a shelf at the DC police or FBI headquarters.”

The federal investigator, who requested anonymity, said 44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments between Democratic National Committee leaders, spanning from January 2015 through late May 2016, were transferred from Rich to MacFadyen before May 21.

On July 22, just 12 days after Rich was killed, WikiLeaks published internal DNC emails that appeared to show top party officials conspired to stop Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont from becoming the party’s presidential nominee. That controversy resulted in Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigning as DNC chairperson. A number of Sanders supporters refused to back party nominee Hillary Clinton, and some subsequently formed groups to work against Clinton and the party.

WikiLeaks leader Julian Assange has stopped short of identifying Rich as the source of the emails, but has taken a keen interest in the case, and has not denied working with Rich.

“WikiLeaks has decided to issue a US$20k reward for information leading to conviction for the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich,” the organization announced.

Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department has no suspects and no substantial leads as to who the killer or killers may be, sources close to the investigation said. Metropolitan Police, including the police chief, have refused to discuss the case, despite requests from Fox News dating back 10 months.

The department released a statement on the case saying it remains an active investigation and that detectives are working with Rich's family.

"If there are any individuals who feel they have information, we urge them to call us at (202) 727-9099 or text us at 50411," read the statement. "The department is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information on this case that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible."

The FBI’s national office declined to comment, but sources said the bureau provided cyber expertise to examine Rich’s computer.

Wheeler believes powerful forces are preventing the case from a thorough investigation.

“My investigation shows someone within the D.C. government, Democratic National Committee or Clinton team is blocking the murder investigation from going forward,” Wheeler told Fox News. “That is unfortunate. Seth Rich’s murder is unsolved as a result of that.”

A spokesman for the Rich family said Wheeler was not authorized to speak for the family and called assertions Seth Rich sent emails to WikiLeaks "unsubstantiated." Brad Bauman said even if purported emails were to surface, it would not necessarily mean Rich had helped WikiLeaks.

"Even if tomorrow, an email was found, it is not a high enough bar of evidence to prove any interactions as emails can be altered and we've seen that those interested in pushing conspiracies will stop at nothing to do so," Bauman said. "We are a family who is committed to facts, not fake evidence that surfaces every few months to fill the void and distract law enforcement and the general public from finding Seth's murderers."

Whatever Rich's possible activities prior to his murder, the case remains a mystery.

Two assailants caught on a grainy video tape from a camera posted outside a grocery mart, shot Rich twice in his back, but did not take his wallet, cell phone, keys, watch or necklace worth about $2,000.

Police should consider all angles, Wheeler said, especially in light of Assange’s statements to a Dutch television reporter who asked about Rich.

“I am suggesting,” Assange told the Dutch reporter, “that our sources take risks, and they, they become concerned to see things occurring like that.”

On Twitter, WikiLeaks announced the reward but said Assange’s statement “should not be taken to imply that Seth Rich was a source for WikiLeaks or to imply that his murder is connected to our publications” because WikiLeaks has a policy not to release the names of its sources, even after their death.

In subsequent appearances on Fox News Channel, Assange confirmed, “We're interested in anything that might be a threat to alleged WikiLeaks sources.”

Assange has not returned a series of recent emails from Fox News about Rich. MacFadyen, who was considered a mentor by Assange, died of lung cancer on Oct. 22 at age 76.

D.C. police have announced a $25,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of Rich’s killer. Republican lobbyist Jack Burkman has offered a separate $130,000 reward.

Rich had been at Lou’s City Bar a couple of miles from his home until about 1:15 a.m. He walked home, calling several people along the way. He called his father, Joel Rich, who he missed because he had gone to sleep. He talked with a fraternity brother and his girlfriend, Kelsey Mulka.

Around 4:17 a.m., Rich was about a block from his home when Mulka, still on the phone with him, heard voices in the background. Rich reassured her that he was steps away from being at his front door and hung up.

Two minutes later, Rich was shot twice. Police were on the scene within three minutes. Rich sustained bruising on his hands and face. He remained conscious, but died at a nearby hospital less than two hours later.

Police detectives will not say whether Rich provided them with any clues about the identity of his attackers or their motivation, Wheeler said. However, Wheeler believes Rich could have provided information prior to his death of who was responsible for carrying out his murder.

Police also have refused to release security footage from a market on the corner of the crosswalk where Rich was killed. The footage, sources told Fox News, shows two people following Rich across the tiny crosswalk just moments before he was attacked. The camera captured grainy footage of the assailants’ legs and Rich as he fell backward into the street after being shot.

Right, we got you.

All of the info that is coming out today is irrelevant because of a snopes article written who knows how long ago.

I wish you well.

I think the report CNN provided a year ago was enough. No emotion and no opinions assigning guilt and blame. You guys are clearing just jumping to conclusions, which is HILARIOUS because you are constantly calling liberals out for it against Trump.

No, that is just the way you see it.
Suspicion is just that.
No need to make it something that it isn't.

HA! Cool story bro. I see how this conversation is already headed. I was ridiculed for posting in the thread all because the poster assumed I didn't agree with his stance on this. You guys have already made up your minds. Don't pretend like this is merely speculation. I'm not buying it.

a reply to: EchoesInTime

They're not reporting it because there's no story.

They are talking about trumps kerfuffel again.
But but that's not real. Right?

Because it doesn't fit the narrative they've been forcing. My guess is WaPo won't have it either....

Or it could be that like a lot of pro-Trump narratives pushed by Fox (and let's not forget, Wheeler is a longtime, regular Fox contributor who has said off-the-wall BS that he later retracted) — there's nothing to it — and it's just a conveniently dropped distraction when the clown-in-chief is embroiled in his latest debacle.

If Wheeler produces something to substantiate his claim, you can bet they'll pick up on it but as for now, I'm guessing they've just got a better nose for BS than the average Trump supporter.

So your contention is that CNN will not report on this because Wheeler aand the anonymous FBI insider that are making these claims are not credible, and yet every anonymous source that is critical of Trump is cited as gospel for CNN in many of their stories?

Look, I know Fox sucks, all of the media outlets do.

But I am trying to be consistent. I am taking this story with a grain of salt, because I don't trust anonymous sources and I want to see evidence.

But that ship has sailed for CNN a long time ago. You know as well as I do that CNN is out to get Trump, and thats why there is a double standard on which anonymous sources they will base stories on.

You seem triggered.
I am just looking at evidence that has come up already and postulating.
You claim to have known nothing about the story before today.
I have been following it for quite a while.

It's better than blindly assuming that he was gunned down by a DNC conspiracy like you guys are doing.

From what I've seen it appears to be another conservative snipe hunt.

First time ?

Most of us have heard it for months.

There's been tons of threads on it.

Guess I'm gonna chalk that up to ignoring inconvenient truths.

a reply to: neo96

More like I just don't waste time on conservative snipe hunts anymore. There's even less evidence linking the DNC to killing this guy than there is linking Trump to colluding with the Russians during the election.

No... This thread is whining about what CNN chooses to cover or not cover. Perhaps you clicked on the wrong thread by accident?

a reply to: Sillyolme

Or... just maybe... they knew this story was coming, and had to fish up something anti-Trump to distract from possibly the hugest DNC disgrace in history.
